So this series of JLA comes to a close, but not for me! Because I actually started this series in the middle. So now I have the first 8 books to read.
This one was pretty good, except it really kinda strange to not have superman and wonder woman there at the end. I guess they might have tended to see the logic of having a league and then the "jig would be be up". Not sure why they had all these heroes on the cover that we're not in the book? I really expected to see Shazam ...more

Oh, to live in a world where this unnecessary coda to the greatness that was the JLA never existed. JLA as a title was getting ready to be axed in the great Crisis and had been going steadily downhill, but this mess of an ending by Bob Harras (who you may remember from running more than a few Marvel titles into a black hole) really had no business even existing.

Collects JLA #120-125.
My time-line for DC Comic's mega-crossover is a bit hazy but I think this collection takes place after the universe altering events in Infinite Crisis and the JLA heroes have come to mourn their fallen. It is at that time Batman decides to disband the League forever. Although Green Arrow never seems to want to belong to the JLA, neither does he take well to disbanding it. Meanwhile, an old JLA villain, The Key, wakes up from an induced coma only to find all the ...more

This Infinite Crisis crossover finds founding member Batman having dissolved the JLA but Green Arrow determined to keep it together as one of the seven deadly sins, Envy, and telepathic supervillain the Key begin causing problems. The JLA aren't seen as gods here; they're mortals arguing with each other over the power they wield. Green Arrow, Raven, Black Canary, and Batman take center stage here.
This one might be better than I think, but it feels pretty inconsequential in the context of Infinite Crisis. It's essentially just a way to put an official end to the series while IC is going on, but it's not as good a story as its predecessor. It's largely a Green Arrow plot, which is fine, but it's just not that fun or insightful.
Why is it so hard to slog through this? I picked it up five times before it finally was finished, and after the first time, not once (more) did I look forward to it. It was more like the anti-anticipation that comes from a big homework assignment.
Harras has mastered stating the very obvious - "This is insane! The Key is clearly manipulating us. Forcing us to fight." ugh.

Good book with some classic Green Arrow lines.
Infinite Crisis
JLA in bits. An interesting story that focus's on the smaller characters while the main ones are involved in Infinite crisis. Decent read.
